Entered  according  to  Act  of  Congress,  in  the  year  1883,

We  have  made  MANY  FORTUNES,  FOR  MANY 
MEN,  who  have  taken  our  advice  in  placing  their 
advertising  in  a  judicious  selection  of  Newspapers 
in  the  NORTH,  EAST,  SOUTH  and  WEST.  Twenty- 
four  years'  experience  enables  us  to  give  the 
LOWEST  PRICES  and  BEST  PAPERS. 

CALL  AND  SEE  us.  Office  in  '•  Rotunda"  of

PLAYING  ONLY  THE  STRONGEST  ATTRACTIONS. 


A  new  modern  theatre,  built  in  1881,  and  the  largest,  handsomest,  safest,  best- 
equipped  and  most  popular  house  in  Chicago. 

Lighted  throughout  with  the  Edison  Incandescent  Electric  Light  —  no  gas 
whatever  used  anywhere  in  the  theatre,  and  no  fires,  consequently  no  danger  from 
fire,  and  absolutely  safe  —  in  this  respect  being  the  only  theatre  in  Chicago  so 
equipped.  As  there  is  no  heat  from  the  electric  light,  the  theatre  is  by  far  the 
coolest  in  Chicago  in  warm  weather,  being  at  least  20  degrees  cooler  than  when 
lighted  with  gas,  and  consequently  the  atmosphere  is  purer. 

The  theatre  has  been  entirely  refitted  and  redecorated  for  the  season  of  1883- 
'84  —  new  boxes,  new  aisles  and  exits,  and  enlarged  stage  —  making  it  the  most 
complete  and  comfortable  theatre  in  Chicago,  "the  favorite  of  the  masses,  the 
great  money-making  theatre  of  the  United  States." 

The  theatre  is  on  the  ground  floor,  absolutely,  with  not  a  solitary  step  to 
climb,  unlike  all  the  other  South  Side  theatres,  which  have  from  six  to  eighteen 
steps  to  get  on  their  so-called  "ground  floors." 

The  same  liberal,  progressive  and  wide-awake  policy  that  has  prevailed  in  the 
past  will  govern  in  the  future.

THE   PALMER   HOUSE. 


0\E  of  the  institutions  of  Chicago  of  which  every  citizen  is 
proud,    and    which    the    traveling    public,    that    in    perfect 
streams   pass   through    the   city,   commend,    is    the    Palmer 
House.     Even  before  the  great  fire  it  was  the  model  hotel  of  the 
West,  and  compared   to  the  present  structure  it  was  but  a  small 
affair,  but  it  was  a  fitting  forerunner  of  the  present  splendid  hos- 
telry which  Mr.  POTTER  PALMER  began  to  build  before  the  ashes  of 
the  fire  had  hardly  cooled. 

The  location  is  the  most  convenient  of  any  hotel  in  Chicago- 
Situated  at  the  corner  of  State  and  Monroe  streets,  it  is  within  the« 
immediate  vicinity  of  the  wholesale  and  retail  trade;  the  theaters 
are  close  at  hand,  and  yet  the  guests  are  removed  from  the  noise  of 
traffic.  The  principal  depots  are  but  a  few  blocks  distant,  and  the 
fact  that  the  cable  cars  pass  the  State  street  front,  renders  the 
Palmer  House  comparatively  near  to  every  part  of  the  city.  It  is 
absolutely  FIRE  PROOF,  a  desideratum  which  the  sojourner  in  hotels, 
whether  for  a  long  or  short  period,  knows  how  to  appreciate.  The 
materials  used  in  its  construction  are  brick,  stone,  iron,  marble  and 
cement.  No  other  hotel  in  the  world  is  as  safe  in  this  respect  as  the 
Palmer  House.  As  for  the  service  of  the  hotel  and  its  table,  no  one 
who  has  stopped  in  it  but  will  give  words  of  praise  to  the  manage- 
ment. Guests  have  their  choice  of  either  the  European  or  American 
plans.  That  the  graded  system  of  rates  has  met  with  the  favor  of 
the  public  is  evidenced  by  the  ever-increasing  patronage  wrhich  is 
bestowed  on  the  Palmer.  In  all  other  requirements  which  a  really 
first-class  hotel  should  present  to  its  patrons,  the  proprietors  have 
made  it  a  study  to  provide  the  latest  improvements,  so  that  when 
one  is  a  guest  within  its  walls  he  may  be  certain  that  nothing  will 
be  left  undone  which  will  add  to  his  comfort  and  convenience.

THE  GREAT 


an  [fondle  and  Pennsylvania 

••^=3  J_.  I  IsT  IE  K*~ 

Is  now  running  Pullman  Buffet  Sleeping  cars  between  Chicago  and 
New  York,  making  daylight  arrivals  in  all  the  Eastern  cities.  The 
great  advantage  the  PAN  HANDLE  LINE  offers  over  competing 
routes,  lies  in  the  fact  that  its 

FAST  EXPRESS  TRAIN 


leaves  Chicago  every  evening  in  the  week  about  9.00  P.M.,  and  reaches  New  York 
and  other  Eastern  cities  about  the  same  time  as  if  you  had  left  on  the  afternoon 
train  of  competing  lines.  Its  track  and  equipment  are  in  perfect  condition,  and, 
strengthened  by  the  addition  of  through  car  service  and  improved  facilities,  it  at 
once  commands  a  prominent  position  among  the  leading  routes  from  CHICAGO 
to  the  EAST,  and  asserts  its  claim  to  a  liberal  share  of  the  large  volume  of  travel 
between  CHICAGO  and  NEW  YORK. 

Take  the  PAN  HANDLE,   EAST,   the  next  time  you  go. 

The  SHORTEST,  BEST  and  QUICKEST  line  from  CHICAGO  to  CIN- 
CINNATI, INDIANAPOLIS,  LOUISVILLE  and  all  points  in  the  South  and 
Southeast  is  the 


and  it  is  the  only  line  running  solid  trains  with  Pullman  Palace  Sleeping  and 
Parlor  Cars  between  Chicago  and  Cincinnati.  It  makes  two  hours  quicker  time 
between  Chicago  and  Louisville,  via  Indianapolis,  than  any  other  route,  and  is 
positively  the  only  line  offering  the  traveling  public  solid  trains  of  Palace  Sleeping 
and  Parlor  Cars  between  Chicago  and  Louisville.  It  has  Union  Depots  every- 
where. Its  road  bed  is  unsurpassed,  being  rock  ballasted,  and  track  laid  with  solid 
steel.  rails.  Its  bridges  and  culverts  form  substantial  structures.  Its  equipment, 
the  latest  Pennsylvania  standard,  the  highest  grade  of  excellence  known  to  the 
railroad  world.  Its  management  and  discipline  are  of  the  first  order  ;  and  the 
quality  of  its  Pullman  through  car  service  equals  if  not  surpasses  that  of  competing 
lines.  IN  POINT  OF  SPEED,  if  figures  talk,  the  schedules  of  its  trains  plainly 
show  that  it  has  NO  RIVAL  IN  TIME.

THE  GRAND  PARLOR. 


This  magnificent  drawing  room  is  sixty-two  feet  in  length  by 
twenty-six  feet  in  width.  Your  feet  tread  upon  the  finest  products 
of  the  Axminster  looms  —  a  royal  carpet,  woven  in  one  piece  to  fit 
this  especial  apartment,  with  its  figures  and  designs  conforming  to 
the  shape  of  the  room.  Vast  mirrors  are  everywhere.  The  windows 
are  hidden  beneath  the  most  luxurious  satins,  velvets  and  laces, 
wrought  in  elaborate  designs.  The  tables  are  Florentine,  and  rare 
mosaics  enrich  the  mirror  frames.  The  mantel  is  a  marvel  of  art 
worked  out  in  different  colored  marbles;  the  chandeliers  and  cande- 
labra are  French.  The  upholstery  is  entirely  of  satins  and  velvets. 
The  frescoings  are  of  the  most  delicate  and  rare  tints.  The  distin- 
guishing feature  of  the  room  is  its  unlikeness  to  anything  else.  Every- 
thing is  the  development  of  an  original  idea,  guided  by  a  perfect 
taste. 


THE  GRAND  STAIRCASE. 


The  Grand  Staircase  extends  from  the  basement  to  the  upper 
story.  It  is  constructed  of  Italian  marble,  and  is  justly  considered 
a  perfect  marvel  of  engineering  skill.  Each  step  and  platform  is 
cut  from  a  solid  block  of  marble,  and  so  constructed  that  they  sup- 
port one  another  throughout  the  entire  flight,  combining  great 
strength  with  a  novel  and  curious  effect.  The  balustrade  is  of  ca>t 
brass,  gilded  and  ornamented  in  keeping  with  the  richly  decorated 
walls  surrounding  them.  There  is  but  one  other  staircase  in  the 
world  constructed  in  this  manner,  and  that  is  the  one  leading  to  the 
whispering  gallery  in  the  dome  of  St.  Paul's  Cathedral,  in  London. 
The  marble  for  this  staircase  was  taken  from  the  quarries  of 
Carrara,  Italy,  and  cut  there,  with  such  perfection  that  they  fitted 
together  perfectly.

THE  EGYPTIAN   PARLOR. 


"  Superb,"  is  the  exclamation  which  naturally  arises  to  the  lips 
when  one  enters  this  apartment  of  the  Palmer  House.  It  is  situated 
in  the  northeast  corner  of  the  parlor  floor.  The  visitor  treads  upon 
the  heaviest  of  Wilton  carpeting,  that  corresponds  in  shade  to  the 
upholstery  of  the  furniture,  which  is  of  a  rich  maroon  color.  The 
chairs,  sofas,  and  tete-a-tetes  are  inviting  in  appearance  and  the  wood- 
work is  fashioned  after  the  true  Egyptian  style.  Rich  hangings  of 
heavy  maroon  damask  are  in  the  windows,  which  overlook  one  of 
the  busiest  of  Chicago's  many  busy  corners.  Three  mirrors,  beauti- 
fully designed,  reflect  the  beauties  of  the  room,  and  overhead  is  one 
of  the  most  beautiful  frescoes,  designed  and  painted  by  a  true 
artist.  A  piano  of  finest  touch  and  tone  occupies  one  corner,  and 
in  the  middle  of  the  room  is  a  work  of  art  in  the  sha*pe  of  a  center 
table  which  in  itself  is  a  study.  Around  the  marble  center  piece  of 
this  table,  which  is  inlaid  with  many-colored  pieces  of  rare  marble, 
is  a  rim  of  bronze  on  which  are  Egyptian  bas-reliefs,  and  the  whole 
forms  a  perfect  study  as  a  piece  of  decorative  art.  This  center 
table  was  purchased  in  Europe  by  Mr.  Palmer  especially  for  this 
room,  and  is  only  another  evidence  of  the  perfect  taste  in  which  the 
hotel  is  fitted  up.  That  the  Egyptian  Parlor  is  a  favorite  resort  for 
the  guests  of  the  hotel  is  plainly  evidenced  by  the  fact  that  at  all 
hours  of  the  day  the  wayfarers,  especially  the  ladies,  may  be  seen 
frequenting  the  room.  It  is  one  of  the  standard  attractions  of  the 
house. 


THE  BALL  ROOM. 


The  elite  of  Chicago  can  tell  of  many  merry  hours  passed 
within  the  walls  of  this  room;  hours  made  happy  by  the  strains  of 
a  sweet  orchestra  and  the  tripping  of  light  feet.  The  banquets  of 
the  prominent  societies,  both  public  and  private,  civil  and  military, 
which  are  given  from  time  to  time  at  the  Palmer  House,  are

THE  BALL  ROOM— (CONTINUED  FROM  PAGE  39).  A 

rounded  off  by  the  ball  which  follows,  and  the  Ball  Room  is  a 
worthy  mate  to  the  Banqueting  Hall.  Down  the  center  of  the  room, 
which  is  140X40  feet,  is  a  row  of  beautiful  fluted  columns,  finished 
off  with  different  shades  of  color,  a  deep  brick  red  fringed  with 
gold  at  the  bottom,  and  white  at  the  top.  The  chandeliers  of  pol- 
ished brass  reflect  the  lights  which  cast  their  brilliancy  over  the 
whirling  pleasure  seekers.  The  wax  floor  gleams  with  the  rubbing 
it  has  received,  while  the  walls  and  ceilings  are  painted  in  appro- 
priate, pleasing  and  gay  colors.  The  dressing  rooms  used  are  the 
private  parlors  up  stairs,  and  every  convenience  is  arranged  so  that 
the  balls  at  the  Palmer  have  become  noted  in  the  annals  of  the  city 
for  their  gayety  and  unmitigated  pleasure  as  far  as  the  surroundings 
are  concerned.  It  is  only  another  evidence  of  the  fact  that  the 
proprietors  of  this  famed  hostelry  are  progressive,  and  live  not  only 
to  serve  the  traveler  well,  but  to  make  this  house  one  of  the  institu- 
tions of  the  city  where  its  citizens  may  come  together  with  their 
invited  guests  to  enjoy  "a  feast  of  reason  and  a  flow  of  soul." 


THE  BRIDAL  CHAMBERS. 


The  Bridal  Chambers  of  the  Palmer  are  celebrated.  The  furni- 
ture is  unique  and  costly,  and  the  apartments  cheery  and  bright, 
just  such  as  "love's  young  dream"  desires.  The  rooms,  26X30  in 
size,  with  closets  and  baths  attached.  In  the  frescoes  are  cupids 
and  doves,  wreaths  of  flowers,  and  filmy  veils  of  lace.  Rare  articles 
of  vertu  are  scattered  about,  and  superb  and  costly  paintings  are 
hung  upon  the  walls.  The  beds  are  surmounted  by  a  canopy,  in  the 
French  style,  and  their  coverings  are  damask  and  lace.  One  would 
know  that  these  apartments  were  bridal  chambers  were  one  to  enter 
them  alone  without  being  told  previously.  It  is  an  idea  wrought 
to  perfection  by  skillful  taste.

GRAND   HALL  AND  ROTUNDA. 


This  hall  is  twenty-eight  feet  wide  by  seventy  feet  long,  in  the 
Ionic  order  of  architecture.  The  marble  wainscoting  so  profusely 
displayed  throughout  the  whole  house,  here  has  a  particularly  rich 
effect,  there  being  thirty-four  different  kinds  and  colors  of  choice 
marbles  used  in  the  construction,  brought  from  as  many  different 
quarries  in  different  parts  of  the  world.  Passing  through  this  hall, 
you  ascend  by  two  marble  steps  to  the  vast  rotunda.  You  are 
struck  by  its  height,  its  beautiful  and  graceful  proportions,  but  its 
size  does  not  at  first  appear,  so  perfect  are  its  details,  so  thoroughly 
symmetrical  is  every  point  of  its  construction.  It  is  sixty-four  feet 
wide,  one  hundred  and  six  feet  long,  and  twenty-six  feet  six  inches 
high,  and  decorated  in  all  the  grandeur  of  the  old  Roman  Corinth- 
ian order,  displaying  more  beauty  in  art  and  design  than  any  other 
room  in  America.  The  floor,  office  counter  (to  which  you  pass 
through  openings  on  the  east  side,  and  which  is  situated  in  a  sepa- 
rate building  in  the  interior  court),  wainscoting,  staircase,  etc.,  are 
all  of  Italian  marble,  modeled,  paneled,  and  wrought  in  the  most 
elaborate  manner.  To  the  left,  as  you  enter,  the  grand  staircase 
rises  gracefully  to  the  entresol  floor,  its  marble  newels  being  sur- 
mounted by  huge  griffins  in  bronze,  and  a  massive  Venetian  mirror 
at  the  first  landing  reflecting  the  whole  scene. 


TELEGRAPH  AND  TICKET  OFFICES. 


For  the  convenience  of  the  guests  a  Telegraph  Office  is  placed 
near  the  State  street  entrance,  and  prompt  service  is  rendered.  A 
Union  Ticket  Office  is  also  near  the  Telegraph  Office,  where  the 
traveler  can  supply  himself  with  railroad  tickets  to  any  part  of  trie 
countrv.

THE  GRAND  DINING   HALL. 


This  truly  royal  saloon  is  the  crowning  glory  of  the  Palmer 
House,  as  all  who  have  ever  seen  it  will  bear  witness.  It  is  reached 
from  all  the  main  halls  and  corridors  of  the  second  floor.  It  is 
sixty-four  feet  wide,  seventy-six  feet  long  and  twenty-seven  feet  six 
inches  in  height.  The  architectural  decorations  are  in  the  rich  old 
Corinthian  order,  treated  freely  in  the  modern  French  style.  The 
ceiling  is  divided  into  compartments  by  girders  and  is  supported 
by  two  rows  of  massive  Corinthian  columns,  with  gilded  flutes.  The 
walls  are  pilastered  and  corniced  to  correspond  with  the  columns. 
A  large  window  occurs  in  each  inter-columniation,  at  both  sides  of 
the  room,  which  renders  the  hall  light  and  cheerful  during  the 
cloudiest  days.  At  each  end  are  monumental  doorways,  particularly 
rich  in  sculpture,  statuary  and  bas-relievo.  Three  side  doorways 
connect  the  main  hall  with  other  dining  halls  placed  on  either  side, 
less  in  size,  but  no  less  richly  decorated.  These  flanking  halls  can 
be  made  a  part  of  the  grand  saloon  by  throwing  open  the  large 
doors,  \vhich  produces  a  grand  effect.  These  auxiliary  dining  rooms 
are  the  supper  room,  32X64  feet,  the  breakfast  room,  29X64  feet, 
the  sumptuous  ladies'  ordinary,  37X65  feet,  and  children's  dining 
room,  37X45  feet.  The  frescoes  are  the  finest  in  America. 


THE  RESTAURANT. 


The  Restaurant  is  a  large  circular  room  in  the  composite  order 
of  architecture.  It  is  situated  in  a  separate  building,  erected  in 
the  interior  court,  and  is  reached  through  a  long  hall,  set  with 
tables,  from  Monroe  street,  and  also  from  the  rotunda.  This  room 
is  literally  surrounded  by  mirrors,  set  in  conformity  to  its  circular 
shape.  It  is  lighted  from  the  dome,  with  a  most  unique  and  pleas- 
ing effect.  The  dome  is  supported  on  columns  of  marble,  and  the 
wainscoting  and  floor  are  also  of  the  same  material.  Its  square 
would  be  48x56  feet  in  dimensions.  The  same  elaborate  style  of 
decoration  prevails  here  that  characterizes  the  whole  house,  the 
tables  being  equally  well  appointed  and  served.  Guests  are  accom- 
modated either  on  the  American  or  European  plan.

THE  GREAT  KITCHENS. 


One  of  the  most  interesting  departments  of  the  Palmer  House 
are  the  kitchens,  situated  in  a  separate  building  erected  in  the 
interior  court,  with  perfect  ventilation  through  shafts  at  the  top,  a 
most  important  feature,  as  it  relieves  the  house  entirely  from  the 
odor  of  the  cooking.  This  department  of  the  great  hostelry  is 
indeed  a  curiosity.  The  visitor  should  view  it  while  dinner  is  being 
served  in  the  grand  hall,  and  all  is  life  and  bustle.  The  most  per- 
fect order  and  system  prevail,  and  the  utmost  cleanliness  is  apparent 
throughout.  Each  individual  of  the  army  of  servants  fits  a  place, 
and  knows  his  duties.  The  whole  moves  with  the  precision  of 
mechanism. 

It  would  be  of  interest  to  the  public  could  they  know  the  exact 
amount  of  food  daily  produced  and  served  from  this  department. 
In  the  busy  season,  when  the  house  is  overflowing  with  guests,  the 
consumption  of  all  the  thousand  and  one  things  that  enter  into  the 
cuisine  of  this  caravansary  is  enormous. 

Mr.  Palmer  made  this  department  of  the  hotel  an  especial  study, 
and  brought  to  his  aid  the  best  experience  in  the  world.  The  space 
devoted  to  it  shows  that  it  was  not  considered  of  second,  but  of 
first  importance,  in  the  hotel  economy.

THE  CLUB  ROOM. 


This  apartment  might  appropriately  be  called  the  "marble" 
room  of  the  house,  for  marble  is  the  predominating  feature  of  its 
construction.  Like  the  Ball  Room,  it  is  designed  to  be  used  by  the 
citizens  of  Chicago.  Here,  when  it  becomes  necessary,  as  is  so 
often  the  case  in  this  cosmopolitan  city,  to  arrange  for  the  proper 
reception  or  entertainment  of  some  distinguished  visitor,  when  the 
leading  merchants  or  public  men  of  the  city  wish  to  quietly  talk 
over  matters  of  public  interest,  then  the  Palmer  House  Club  Room 
comes  into  play  as  an  important  factor.  Probably  no  room  in  the 
city  has  contained  at  one  time  so  many  men  closely  identified  with 
the  best  interests  of  the  city,  who  have  met  to  discuss  questions  of 
public  policy  or  features  of  public  importance,  as  this  room.  And 
every  convenience  is  at  their  disposal,  while  the  taste  and  elegance 
of  the  fittings  make  it  a  real  pleasure  to  attend  a  meeting  within 
its  walls.  In  size  it  is  60  x  30  feet,  the  floor  is  of  marble  tiling,  while 
the  sides  are  laid  in  colored  marbles  to  the  height  of  four  feet. 
The  furniture  is  of  the  best,  and  designed  to  meet  the  requirements 
of  its  occupants.  Suitable  tables  are  placed  for  the  use  of  pre- 
siding officers,  and  chairs  for  the  audience.  An  open  fire  place  adds 
a  home-like  appearance  to  the  apartment,  and  adjoining  is  a  nicely 
fitted  up  toilet  room.  Leading  citizens  of  Chicago  need  no  intro- 
duction to  the  Palmer  House  Club  Room,  and  a  visit  to  it  will 
repay  any  guest  who  may  be  in  the  house. 


49 


THE  BAR  AND  BILLIARD  ROOM, 


Here,  as  in  all  the  other  departments  of  this  splendid  hotel,  nothing  has  been 
left  undone  to  make  things  pleasant  to  those  guests  of  the  house  who  seek  relaxa- 
tion. The  floor  of  the  room  is  set  in  many-colored  marbles.  The  splendid  marble 
counter,  forty-six  feet  long,  extends  across  the  room  in  front  of  the  bar.  The  side- 
boards shimmer  with  fine  cut  glass  and  handsome  ornaments.  The  supply  of 
liquors  is  of  the  finest  quality  and  greatest  variety.  Experienced  and  suave  attend- 
ants stand  ready  to  concoct  the  most  delightful  beverages  which  the  weary  and 
thirsty  traveler  may  call  for.  The  billiard  and  pool  tables  are  noted  for  their 
excellence  of  make-up  and  elaborateness  of  ornamentation.  New  furniture  of  the 
most  costly  and  luxurious  design  has  just  been  added,  while  the  general  effect  has 
been  enhanced  by  the  placing  of  magnificent  mirrors  all  around  the  room.  Two 
cozy  little  side  rooms,  neatly  fitted  up,  are  at  either  side  of  the  bar  for  the  use  of 
private  parties.  In  fact  nothing  has  been  left  undone  to  make  the  Palmer  House 
bar  the  most  attractive  of  any  in  the  city.

In  connection  with  the  advertised  scale  of  prices  of  the  PALMER  HOUSE  LIVERY, 
is  shown  the  capacity  of  the  Stable  to  discharge  the  business  which  it  may  be  called 
on  to  do.  The  Livery  owns  forty  first-class  Carriages  of  the  latest  style,  which  for

country.  It  owns  twenty  Coupes  of  the  latest  style,  for  ladies'  shopping  and  pleas- 
ure riding;  thirty  light  livery  Buggies,  single  and  double,  of  the  most  improved 
make  and  finish;  seven  Surrey  Wagons,  for  pleasure  riding  and  driving,  with  or 
without  a  driver;  three  dog  carts,  hitched  double,  for  pleasure  driving;  seven  Vic- 
torias, for  park  and  pleasure  riding  and  ladies'  shopping;  one  Tally  Ho  Coach, 
four  or  six  horses,  as  required,  capable  of  accommodating  forty  persons  comfort- 
ably, for  pleasure  riding,  excursion  and  picnic  parties.  It  owns  two  hundred  first- 
class  Carriage,  Coupe,  or  Light  Livery  Horses.  There  are  in  the  employ  of  the 
Stable  one  hundred  and  fifteen  men,  in  various  capacities,  all  of  whom  are  boarded 
by  the  Livery  at  the  Hotel  connected  with  it.  The  Stable  is  lighted  by  electricity, 
generated  by  a  twenty  horse  power  steam  engine,  which  also  runs  a  Horse  Groom- 
ing Machine,  capable  of  cleaning  fifty  horses  an  hour,  and  cuts  the  mixed  feed  used 
in  the  establishment.  The  Stable  does  all  of  its  own  horse  shoeing,  there  being  a 
first-class  Horse  Shoeing  Shop  in  connection,  employing  none  but  the  best  work- 
men. Also  a  Paint  and  Carriage  Trimming  Shop,  where  all  Carriages  and  Coupes 
owned  by  the  Stable  are  repaired  and  trimmed;  and  a  Harness  Shop,  for  making 
and  repairing  the  harness  required. 

The  appointments  of  the  Boarding  Department  of  the  Palmer  Livery  are  con- 
sidered by  good  judges  to  be  the  finest  in  this  country  connected  with  a  public 
stable,  comprising  seventy-five  box  stalls,  each  u  x  12  feet,  all  wired;  also  a  manure 
press,  by  which  all  manure  is  pressed  in  the  Stable  and  from  there  taken  by  rail  to 
Mr.  Payne's  Farm  of  three  hundred  and  twenty  acres  located  at  Chebanse,  Illinois, 
where  is  raised  the  corn  and  oats  used  by  the  Livery.  There  is  also  on  this  farm 
a  stable,  built  at  a  cost  of  five  thousand  dollars,  with  one  hundred  box  stalls,  for 
the  accommodation  of  the  patrons  of  the  Palmer  Livery  who  may  wish  to  avail 
themselves  of  it.  Connected  with  this  stable  is  an  artesian  well,  three  hundred 
feet  deep,  which  guarantees  a  plentiful  supply  of  pure,  wholesome  water,  being  the 
same  as  that  of  the  South  Park,  so  well  known  to  the  Chicago  public.

THE   BARBER  SHOP  AND   BATH   ROOMS. 


This  department  of  the  Palmer  House,  under  the  personal 
supervision  of  Mr.  Wm.  Eden,  is  unrivaled.  It  is  known  as  the 
" Garden  of  Eden."  Not  a  place  of  the  kind  in  the  world  is  fitted 
up  with  such  magnificence  as  this.  The  cost  of  the  fixtures  in  the 
barber  shop  alone  was  $23,000,  and  of  the  bathing  department, 
$30,000.  The  former,  which  is  40X100  feet  in  size,  is  furnished 
with  mirrors  on  every  side  and  over  head,  in  which  are  reflected 
many  times  the  burnished  brass  fixtures,  the  gilded  columns  and 
cornices,  the  marble  walls  and  floors,  the  elegant  plush  and  velvet 
sofas  and  chairs,  the  nicely  dressed  and  silent  knights  of  the  brush 
and  razor,  and  the  merry  whisk  of  the  sable  artists  who  wield  the 
broom.  In  all,  there  are  two  hundred  square  feet  of  mirrors,  one 
being  TOO  X  150  inches,  the  largest  in  this  country.  The  washstand, 
which  cost  $3,000,  is  composed  of  seven  different  colored  costly 
marbles,  and  over  it  is  a  handsomely  designed  marble  arch  in  which 
is  a  pyramid  of  elegant  French  clocks  that  are  set  to  the  time  of 
different  cities. 

THE    BATHING   DEPARTMENT 

is  a  marvel.  Every  known  bath  can  be  had.  Marble  floors,  marble 
baths  and  marble  scrubbing  beds  are  everywhere.  In  the  "Macere- 
cure"  room  twenty -different  kinds  of  baths  are  furnished.  In  one 
room  is  a  diving  tank,  15X50,  with  a  depth  of  five  and  a  half  feet. 
The  " needle"  shower  bath,  with  its  million  sprays,  cost  $1,000. 
The  Russian  and  Turkish  bath  rooms  are  fitted  up  in  the  highest 
style  of  perfection,  and  throughout  the  whole  department  nothing 
is  wanting  to  make  it  the  most  consummate  triumph  of  modern  art 
and  taste.  Nothing  like  it  has  ever  been  attempted  before  and  it 
is  a  crowning  triumph  for  its  projectors.
